Let’s lead off with this week’s Pop Quiz question, which came to us from Mike McDonald of Phoenix:

In the 1976 song “Jitterbug Boy,” Tom Waits sings that he taught a Hall of Fame player “everything that he knows.” Name the player.

As I noted in a column that ran in Sunday’s Post, spring training represents a mini-season for teams. You set goals for the month and a half and you try to attain them, although your answers and evaluations aren’t necessarily as concrete as they will be for the regular season that follows.

For instance, I wouldn’t identify “Can Masahiro Tanaka live up to his potential?” as a primary Yankees spring training question. That’s a regular-season question.

For Tanaka, the top goal in spring training is to get comfortable with his new routines and new teammates, manager and pitching coach.
